1171640 2011-01-23 07:49:00 For work I have a dell lattitude, it has quadro graphics. I do CAD, hydraulic modelling etc on it and (when away for work) play civ 5 on it. Petja (16002)

umm..can you please specify the model?? or perhaps provide a link?? I can't seem to find a lattitude lappy with quadro graphics.....and will it fit under the $2k price bracket? thanks

1171642 2011-01-23 20:16:00 Sorry, I actually got it wrong, mine is a precision M4400. Its a couple of years old now but still cooking with gas. A couple of people at work who have had a refresh lately are getting this one:

Don't know how much they cost.

1171644 2011-01-23 20:25:00 oh...fair enough, misunderstood ya, sorry :P

but hows asus 5450 compared to nvidia GT 330M?? I still don't have a clue..

Thanks for the reply.

Nvidia graphics have CUDA for software programs that use the code....Photoshop etc.....not sure about which CAD programs do though...so in this instance, I would go Nvidia

I like Thinkpads, expensive, so I get them used, the 4th of the 5 laptops now. About a dual display laptop with tablet on palm rest area. Dual HDD in a RAID layout.
